Here are a few nice examples of recorded political swag.
John Robarts was the Premier of Ontario from 1961 to 1971. From the cut-away corner, I'd deduce this cardboard record was included in a pamphlet, or perhaps a magazine.
I like this next one, courtesy of John Yaremko. The flexi is held onto the backing with some sturdy eyelets, which have allowed it to survive intact for 40 years. The content of the record is a song, making this a pretty good-natured shill. And the little Canadian Centennial symbol is cool.
The last example comes courtesy of MP Bill Graham. This looks to be from the 1980s.
All told, this stuff seems to be from a more innocent, or at least less cynical, era.

I'm betting the Bill Graham backing track is of the smooth jazz variety. Liberal jazz, as it were.
I believe it's called "policy jazz".
No doubt the original track was called "the Cabinet Shuffle."
